The process of design and construction is often linear but with the advent of computational design and fabrication, as well as other tools and techniques, the process is becoming much more collaborative. IPD can be seen as the acme of this movement- a purely collaborative process. Because of which, it is foundationally shaking the design and construction industries and asks for serious introspection from its participants.
This studio (a combination of Architecture, Structural Engineering and Construction Management) explores the model of IPD through a studio project under the guidance of experienced industry professionals. Student teams will form and define how they experience the process through a design project. They will explore the traditional means as well as new tools through which the process functions and are invited to design the process of IPD through periodic self-evaluation and assessment in testing systems. Through their work, they will define was IPD means to them and develop the process for the examination of the larger industry.
